Listen Later

In this gripping episode, hosts Louis and Aaron sit down with Jamey Snodgrass, whose life story sounds almost unbelievable—yet every detail is real.Jamey’s childhood unraveled the day his father said he was stepping out for milk and never came back. That single moment of abandonment set the stage for years of hardship. His mother, lost to crack addiction, could offer no safety net, leaving Jamey to raise himself on the streets.It didn’t take long for the chaos around him to pull him in. Addiction followed quickly, and with it came stints in jails and institutions, each one darker than the last. The danger was relentless: Jamey survived two separate house fires, one of which cost him part of his ear. Every time it seemed life couldn’t throw more at him, it did.Yet against all odds, Jamey is still here. Alive. Sober. Rebuilding. His story isn’t just about surviving addiction—it’s about surviving life itself. From the heartbreak of a vanished father to the terror of flames and the grip of drugs, Jamey’s journey shows the strength it takes to keep moving forward when the world keeps trying to take you down.This conversation is raw, unfiltered, and unforgettable. Jamey opens up about abandonment, addiction, the fires that nearly killed him, and the hard-won sobriety that finally gave him a second chance.Today, Jamey stands as living proof that miracles are real and that no matter how many times life tries to break you, it’s always possible to rise again.🔥 Expect emotion.
